>"quit trying to be funny"
>>24122185
I feel you, OP.
What did you say and who said that to you?
being funny is actually my one redeemable aspect of my personality
>>24122185
>you killed the joke
"I think Anon might be crazy"
>Don't you ever bring that up around her again
>okay okay, that's enough. you're taking this joke too far anon.
>>24122278
why do I have an insatiable urge to wear trenchoats?
is it autism?
>R-Really?
>I was just messing with you, anon
Humor should come natural, you shouldn't have to go out of your way to be funny. It makes you look desperate and like you are trying to hard.
>tfw you have to tell someone their jokes aren't funny or they won't stop
I hate doing it, seeing them go from smiling and happy to sad makes me feel bad but how else are they supposed to learn to be funnier?
>>24122335
you want to wear a trenchcoat because they look good on fictional characters in settings where trenchcoats are appropriate for them.
>>24122421
I think this works both ways.
Maybe I have a natural good sense of humor but because of depression I've honed my ability to be funny as a defense shield.

>>24122421
>make jokes about our own embarrassing situations
>anon comes in to derail and tell us his idea of being funny
you seem good at this anon, great advice.
>>24122484
>>24122530
The fact that people are telling you to fucking stop means that you are trying too hard. You could be funny and annoying at the same time. You could not be funny at all but just annoying. Point is, stop being annoying. People won't tell you to shut up if you're merely being unfunny once.
>>24122561
>on /r9k/
>pretending he can access social situations and the minds of all individuals
Welcome home, my friend.
>make joke
>"sorry could you repeat that"
>you're so deep anon
>>24122598
I'm not pretending. If you make one joke and the joke is not funny then people aren't just gonna say "stop triyng to be funny" like that. They might ignore you, they might not laugh, whatever but they won't just snap at you. They would only do that if you are contiously making jokes at the worst possible time and just being an annoying human to be around.
>"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"
REEE FUCK YOU ROBOT STOP MUTING ME
>Dude you always try to be funny and you're just... not.
Someone told me this in 7th grade and I literally think about it every time I tell a joke
>>24122185
I've had this said to me while other people were laughing at my jokes. Some people just try to cut you down.
>>24122619
>it was a good joke too but now it's ruined because they keep asking you to repeat it
>>24122679
>"omg, who would do that?!"
>>24122653
okay, thanks for the tip robot. i'll be sure to remember that one when i close /r9k/ and walk outside.
>tfw I am the person that always tells other people to shut up and that their jokes aren't funny and calls them retards
Am I secretly alpha?
>"girls love funny guys"
And you have to have looks, regardless, to back it up since that is the primary trait females look for.
>>24122619
I've started just saying "it's not worth repeating," which usually gets laughs honestly
>>24122796
No, just an asshole.
Chads and alphas always pretend you are funny even if you're not. That's how they 'network' and get people to like them. They're professional humans anon.
>"hahaha, wow anon, you're a funny guy. i like that."
>"We're not laughing with you, we're laughing AT you"
>Class laughs
It hit me pretty hard.
>>24122185
>"why don't you normie fucks quit trying to be alive?"
>>24122185
Damn! That was harsh! She wasn't made for you.
>>24122899
I was "having fun" with my "new friends" in middle school but then some fellow took me aside and told me this, probably out of pity. I was pretty shocked, I thought I was part of the senpai up until then.
>>24122980
I'm glad he took you aside, he was trying to save you from the embarrassment/pain of hanging around people who don't like you.
Basically, he was telling you the people in your group have all confirmed that they think you're not funny (shit talking you).
>>24122888
I can be like that but I'm the one cracking the jokes not laughing at them.
>mfw someone thinks they're trying to be funny around me
>anon why aren't you laughing at my jokes
>"Are you gay?"
>Flustered that someone would ask me this
>Can't say no without sounding nervous
Fucking High School
>someone says pun outloud to me
>respond "OH GOD"
>make disgusted face
Is this the right response?
I think most people's jokes are funny but no one thinks my jokes are funny. I just try to stay quiet whenever I can.
>>24123029
It's true, I've mostly been surrounded by bitches and douchebags all my life but a few times certain people step in to help me out. Gives me a little bit of hope. If only all of us had such people in our lives.
>tfw I know only to interact with people by making jokes or puns
>I only have friends because I make funny jokes
>they expect me to say something witty everytime I open my mouth
>I will never experience a deep personnal conversation with anyone
>>24123217
You took it well anon.
I've tried to take someone aside before from a friend group and inform them that they are often spoken badly about within the group. He didn't believe me and never spoke to me again. I stopped hanging around the group because it seemed kind of messed up to act like that.
>he had bought these people video games before
>every time he wasn't around, they would crack some jokes about him
>he would ask to come hang out
>"ugh, we just hung out with him yesterday though. can't we get a little break from him?"
>everyone pretends he's funny when he is around
>>24123143
>get red-faced when people accuse me of absolutely anything no matter how untrue it is
I'm past college age and this shit has not gone away.
>>24123143
My grandma who's a big leftist once insinuated that I might be gay and I couldn't help myself going on a rant about how faggots are disgusting
>>24123284
>interact with people by making jokes or puns
>can't handle intimate, serious or sincere conversations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKUrAXB5D74
Is this you anon?
>>24123284
how about you intiate that conversation by asking genuine questions about deep things first, proclaiming that your intention in that case is not related to humor?
>>24122796
no, you're obnoxious, change your attitude
>>24122734
repeat the joke, change the ending or use your body language more
>waiter there's a strand of hair in my soup
>yes, what did you expect, a fly?
>>24122242
that's what happens when you punch the line too often
>>24122278
create a youtube account and become the next sam hyde
>>24122442
just say you've heard their jokes if you recognize them, point out flaws in them if not
>>24122640
>yes and I was deep down in your mom last night
>>24122899
you have to start somewhere, if you seem insecure they will exploit it, sooner or later you'll learn what works

>>24123346
You probably just made yourself look like a self hating closet case. Though if somebody asks or insinuates you're gay there probably isn't much you can do to make them think otherwise, even getting a gf.
>>24123311
Sucks that he didn't believe it, guess he was still pure and untainted by reality. I always assume people talk shit behind my back but there's nothing to be done about it. Me, and many of us here, aren't really cut out to be genuinely popular. As long as people observe minimal politeness and not insult me to my face I'm good. Although this can backfire too, some guys have snapped at me because I bother them too much and don't get the hint (autism).
>>24123284
I can relate to that all too well
>>24122185
That's so rude and it stings bad. If it's one bad joke, can't they just pretend to laugh or something? I'd understand it if it was the same awful, dry jokes over and over again, though.
>tfw come off as unfunny because over the years you've gotten too scared to tell jokes etc
>>24122185
>Some fucking chad repeats the same joke you just told a few minutes later.
> that same person who put you down over it "LOL Chad you're so funny XD"
Fucking Normalfags are cunts.
>>24122888
this blew my mind
>Normalfag cracks joke
>Laugh hard
>"It wasn't that funny anon..."
It's important to have a sense of humor

Well-deserved trips. This makes a lot of sense.
>say something funny in the class chatter where no one hears you
>Chad repeats it and the whole class laughs
>>24123284
same bro. I often wonder whether my friends actually like me. But being funny is a good way to be cool in a new group of people
>>24124878
I HATE THIS, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

I hate that uncalled for aggressiveness too. I think I might have some sort of BPD because I immediately want to bludgeon the person's face that's acting that way.

Even worse than get told it wasn't funny.
>>24123147
Yes puns are garbage and lazy
>>24123284
This has happened to me a lot my dude, my best advice is try to say less jokes, don't become a meme, then you'll never be taken seriously
>"grow up!"

>"I can never tell if you're joking or not"
>>24127037
It's pretty weird and invasive to listen in on their conversations anon
>>24128907
Saying kinda witty things in monotone isn't that funny
>>24131446
It's usually a quiet place and they're loud.
>>24131560
That's like someone listening in on your phone calls, it's still pretty weird.
Unless they intended to be that loud
>>24131642
When was the last time you left the house?
People are loud.

Not the person you replied to, but at least I personally can't help but listen to anyone in proximity. Even if I'm talking to someone at the time I still try to keep track of other conversations around me, whether or not I know the people talking.
It happens naturally and most of the time I don't even realize it.
>>24122185
Actually, this isn't right either because /r9gay/ is a red board. But assuming you have it in a different theme for some reason you're still fucking wrong.
>>24133659
>breakup
>being in a relationship
You normie fuck
I don't mind when they say something, it's when they look away in the middle of a conversation with, usually when I'm halfway through a sentence, and start talking to someone else. They then proceed to ignore me until I go away.
